Freelancers are quickly becoming the workforce majority, with nearly 50% of Millennials already engaged in freelance “gig” work.^{1 (1 UpWork “Freelancing in America” study)}

The gig economy offers freedom and flexibility for workers, but what does it mean for employers?

Here are just a few of the concerns we hear:

• How do traditional employers compete for talent?
• How do we adapt to the changing expectations in the workforce?
• How do we engage and retain employees who now have countless options for work?

The gig economy has completely changed the world of work—and not just for the nearly 60 million Americans who have left the stable confines of organizational life to become independent contractors.

This momentous workforce shift is affecting employers across the board, especially employers with large hourly or entry-level workforces. While traditional employers can offer stability, the current workforce is craving independence and diversity of work.

1. So, what does the future look like for traditional employers? And ..
2. What can we expect from gig work in the next 10 years?

That’s what talent experts Cheryl Oxley (LinkedIn profile) Talent Strategy & Solutions Partner, OutMatch & Courtney Gear (LinkedIn profile) Director of Enterprise Client Success, OutMatch will cover in this webcast.

Our business world strives for gains, but our environmental and social world continues to change and impact that growth.

Businesses contend with risks such as explosive population growth and imminent scarcity of water and other natural resources.

Additionally, regulators, investors and consumers have new expectations for organizations’ roles in environmental protection- from curbing greenhouse gas emissions to banning single-use plastics that accumulate in our oceans.

Circular economy models enable businesses to achieve growth while conserving natural resources.

Supply chain organizations have an essential role in orchestrating the shift to circular economy.

Join this webinar for the first wave of Gartner research on this emerging topic.

In this webinar, Pam Fitzpatrick Gartner Research Director (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) will  explain what the shift to circular economy means for the supply chain and what you must consider in your strategic plans for the next five years and beyond.

Discussion Topics:

• Implications of the circular economy on supply chain’s role and strategic plans
• How companies are rethinking supply chain and enterprise strategy to enable circular business models
• Steps to take to prepare supply chain for a circular, sustainable future

There is a current trend that says agile methods remove the need for project managers.

This webinar will show why that is not the case, but that project managers need to consider what can be taken from the methods in order to be more agile.

The presentation covers:

• Brief outline of agile methods
• What tools and techniques project and programme managers found most useful
• Common ways to adapt and blend agile methods if full scale adoption isn’t feasible
• What not to do!

Susan is a practitioner herself, so her presentation will be grounded in practical findings which attendees can instantly implement across their projects. Susan will also describe materials which will continue to support those who adapt agile in their day to day life.

Presenter: Susan Clarke (LinkedIn profile) is passionate about supporting the next generation of IT PMs and  has been a member of the APM NW committee for several years. She is the author of research papers on agile development and project management, including APM white papers on the practical adoption of agile and scaled agile methodologies.
